royal arms

Crown's official symbol

Royal arms refers to the official heraldic emblem of a reigning monarch or royal house, typically displayed on shields, flags, official documents, and government buildings.

These coats of arms feature symbolic elements—lions, eagles, crowns, and other devices—that represent the sovereign's authority and territorial claims.

In Britain, the royal arms appear on everything from courtrooms to product packaging bearing a royal warrant.

The royal arms were carved above the courthouse entrance.
